New Delhi: The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a plea seeking quashing of criminal case against Gujarat Police officers in connection with the Ishrat Jahan fake encounter case.
The plea was filed in the apex court after Lashkar-e-Toiba operative David Coleman Headley referred to Mumbra (a town near Mumbai) girl Ishrat Jehan as a suicide bomber of terror group LeT. Ishrat, Javed Sheikh alias Pranesh Pillai and two Pakistani nationals Amjad Ali Rana and Zeeshan Jowher were gunned down at Kotarpur in Ahmedabad on June 15, 2004.
During his deposition, he refered to a woman killed in a police encounter on Indian soil. When he was given three names, he claimed that the name of the woman was Ishrat Jahan. Ishrat's family, since the encounter took place in 2004, has been alleging that it was a botched up operation by the Gujarat Police.
